    Hi,

    I don’t want to sell the downloadable video on my site.

    I only want to sell access to the video…a viewing.

    They should only be able to view the video, not download it. :-)

    Kinda like renting it for a little while.

    How would I do that ?

    Are there steps written down somewhere ? Do I have to buy a 3rd party product ?

    I have your eStore product as well.

    Thanks.

    Miles.

    You would use eStore; to host the videos on Amazon S3.

    I knew I should have been a bit more clear….oy.

    Let’s try this one more time with a bit more clarity this time.

    1.) Amazon S3 is not an option, I want the end user to VIEW the file, not be able to download it. So essentially a streaming option which is what AMAZON CLOUDFRONT is for. Mind you cloudfront and s3 are basically the same things. However, the difference is that S3 will allow for you to download the actual file, cloudfront will only allow you to view it within a specific player!

    2.) I need to obfuscate the URL from the user.

    1. The addition of our Lightbox Ultimate plugin, allows you to stream video from Amazon S3 and Cloudfront. That capability has existed for the last 3 years:

    2. The URL will indeed be obfuscated/encrypted.
